Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 18 servings

• Dough from Debbie's Basic Dough (recipe in this book)
• .25 cup softened margarine
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp minced dry onion
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic salt

Steps

1. Mix together butter, Parmesan cheese, dry onion, paprika and garlic salt. Divide the dough in thirds and work each third separately. Roll the first third flat into a rectangle 1/2 inch thick, about 12 inches long and 9 inches wide. Cut this into thirds, about 12 inch by 3 inch pieces. Spoon a third of the butter/cheese mixture down the center of each third and bring edges together, pinching to seal. (If the butter touches the edges, they will be impossible to pinch together and seal.) This will make three "ropes" that you will braid together. Tuck in ends. Make sure the ends are secured because as the bread raises, they tend to come undone. Brush finished braid with beaten egg and top with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Let rise double and bake at 375F for 35-45 minutes. You may use the other 2/3 of the dough in two more braids or cinnamon rolls or dinner rolls. The butter/cheese mixture will do just one loaf.

We used to have a tradition of passing these out on Christmas Eve to our best friends. The kids would deliver them hot to our friends' doors.

Ingredients for 72 servings

• 2 cups scalded milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 rounded tbsp yeast
• 12 cups flour
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup melted margarine
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 6 beaten eggs

Streusel Topping

• .5 cup melted margarine
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• Sliced almonds

Glaze

• 2 lbs powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• Canned milk

Steps

1. Combine 1 cup water and 1 tbsp sugar and 3 tbsp yeast and let it set until it activates. After the scalded milk cools down, combine all the ingredients except flour and then start adding the flour slowly until it has all been added. It will take more than is suggested. Knead 5 minutes by machine and let rise until double and then beat down and roll out. Divide dough in half and work with half at a time. Melt 1 cube margarine and pour half on each part of the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up and slice into 1-inch pieces. Put in greased pans and sprinkle with streusel topping. Let rise until ready and bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes. This recipe fits into 6 round aluminum cake pans perfectly.
2. Struesel Topping: 1 cube melted margarine, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar. Mix all together and sprinkle over rolls before baking. Top with sliced almonds immediately after taking them from the oven and cover with a glaze made from 1-2 lb sack powdered sugar, about 1 tbsp vanilla and enough canned milk to make it about the consistency of Elmer's glue.

I have made this bread MANY times for family gatherings. It is a favorite!

Ingredients for 40 servings

• 3 eggs
• 1.125 cups of vegetable oil
• 2.25 cups sugar
• 3 cups of flour
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1.5 tsp almond extract
• 1.5 tsp butter flavor extract
• 1.5 tsp vanilla
• 2.25 tbsp poppy seed

Glaze:

• .25 cup orange juice
• .75 cup sugar
• .5 tsp almond extract
• .5 tsp butter flavored extract
• .5 tsp vanilla

Steps

1. Beat eggs, add oil and sugar and beat together until smooth.
2. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder, set aside.
3. Mix together milk, almond extract, butter flavored extract, vanilla and poppy seed.
4. Alternately add dry ingredients and the milk mixture into the creamed mixture. Oil pans and bake at 325F for one hour and 15 minutes, or until done. Teflon pans are best. I line mine with wax paper that has been oiled for easy removal.
5. While baking, make glaze. Put into small sauce pan the orange juice, sugar, almond extract, butter flavored extract, and vanilla. Heat just until the sugar dissolves. When loaves are done, remove from oven but leave in pans and pour the glaze over the tops.

Ingredients for 6 servings

• 5 tbsp softened butter
• .25 cup masa
• .33 cup sugar
• .5 cup water
• 2 cups of corn kernels, fresh or frozen, divide in half
• .5 cup cornmeal
• 1 tsp baking powder
• .5 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp, plus 1 tsp milk

Steps

1. If frozen corn is used, it must be thawed. Mix butter, masa, sugar until light and fluffy. In a blender mix 1 cup of corn with 1/2 cup water and blend until smooth. Combine with butter mixture. Add remaining cup of whole kernels of corn, cornmeal, masa, salt, baking powder, and milk. Mix well. Pour into an 8 inch square pan. Tightly wrap the pan with plastic wrap until water tight. Then put this pan in a larger pan that is filled partly with water and steam this on top of the stove for 50 minutes or so. You may need to add more water to keep it steaming. Do not let it run out of water. It is done when it is smooth and creamy.

This recipe came to me from Marie Wold, my brother's wife. She made them one time when we were there and they were delicious.
